GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3050 8GB

This refurbished graphics card uses the NVIDIA Ampere architecture with 2560 CUDA cores and a 1860 MHz core clock. It provides 8GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit interface running at 14000 MHz. The card connects via PCI Express 4.0 and fits a standard ATX form factor.

Entry 1080p builds; avoid for 4K gaming

The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system with alternate spinning fans and a protective backplate manages the 130W TDP. RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting adds visual customisation. It suits builders targeting 1080p resolution with a 450W power supply. Users needing higher 4K frame rates or more memory bandwidth should consider a higher-tier model.

Single 6-pin plus 8-pin power connector

The board requires one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCIe power connector from the PSU. It occupies a 2.7-slot width and measures 296 mm in length. Outputs include two HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a ports supporting up to 7680 x 4320 resolution across four displays.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.7-slot, 296 mm card fit in a standard ATX case?

The card measures 296 mm long and occupies 2.7 slots, so verify your case clearance and motherboard spacing before purchase.

How do I connect the 6-pin and 8-pin power cables without daisy-chaining?

Use separate cables from the PSU for the 6-pin and 8-pin connectors; a single split cable can limit current delivery.

How often should I clean the three WINDFORCE fans to maintain airflow?

Remove dust from the three fans and heatsink every 6–12 months using compressed air while holding the blades still.
